Appendix C also contains information concerning the build order. While there might need to be a few tweaks yet, this information is complete enough at this point to close out the long-standing ticket #684. Many thanks to Chris Staub, Dan Nicholson and Manuel Canales Esparcia for helping get this finished. git-svn-id: http://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS/trunk/BOOK@7536 4aa44e1e-78dd-0310-a6d2-fbcd4c07a689

<para>copies the given files while expanding the macros that they
|
|
contain. These macros are either built-in or user-defined and can
|
|
take any number of arguments. Besides performing macro expansion,
|
|
<command>m4</command> has built-in functions for including named
|
|
files, running Unix commands, performing integer arithmetic,
|
|
manipulating text, recursion, etc. The <command>m4</command> program
|
|
can be used either as a front-end to a compiler or as a macro processor
|
|
in its own right.</para>
